Children's Acquisition of the Number Words and the Counting System.

Wynn, Karen

Cognitive Psychology, v24 n2 p220-51 Apr 1992

A 7-month longitudinal study of 20 2- and 3-year-old children shows that children at an early age already know that counting words each refer to a distinct numerosity, although they do not know to which numerosity. It takes children a long time to learn the latter. (SLD)
